Here's mine!
This is for my Mum. She's pictured here with my daugher Addie. I'm not big on adding text - but I think the photo shows the love that's inside my Mum!
I really enjoyed everyones layouts. And thanks for the great mini-kit!

I chose my Grandparents as my inspiration. They couldn't have children so they opened up their home to many foster children and adopted 6. In the early 1950s a farm couple, they adopted multiracial children and those no one wanted. They taught me about love and acceptance. They both passed away a year and a day apart from each other. Just short of their 55th anniversary.
